The Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, is eagerly anticipating the beginning of his eternal relationship with his fiancee, Theresa Nist.
During the episode of After the Final Rose, the pair, who announced their engagement during the final episode of the Golden Bachelor on Thursday, revealed that they will exchange their vows in front of a live audience at an ABC wedding special this coming January.
“We are going to get married, we’re going to do it as quickly as we can because at our age, we haven’t got a lot of time to waste,” according to Gerry. “As quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we’re getting married!”
After that, the presenter, Jesse Palmer, said, “Save the date: Gerry and Theresa are getting married, and guess what, we’re invited to the wedding because it will be live on ABC January 4.” Why don’t you say that? It’s becoming so thrilling!
The revelation comes after Gerry, who is 72 years old, popped the question to Theresa, who is 70 years old, and sent home the finalist, Leslie Fhima, before the day of the proposal. For the duration of Fantasy Suites, Gerry expressed his affection for both of the women, but in the end, he felt that he had a more profound relationship with Theresa.
A prior interview with PEOPLE revealed that Turner had said, “I headed towards the end, I was really in conflict about several of the women.” As a result of the occurrence of very particular circumstances, I was able to develop a better understanding of what it was that I wanted to achieve.
The retired restaurateur said that “there were very specific characteristics that I was looking for” before to the beginning of his season, and he was able to recognize whether a lady exhibited such attributes very fast.
When Gerry was asked about the ladies, he said, “I met some of the women and recognized that they were beautiful, gracious, and intelligent; however, they were not the right woman for me.” “I had to locate the appropriate individual.”
And he did so in the case of Theresa. During the conclusion of the show on Thursday, he made his proposal to the expert in the field of financial services in the presence of his two children and granddaughters.
During the day when Theresa proposed to Gerry, she told him, “I am so utterly and completely in love with you, Gerry, and I have the feeling that for us, life isn’t over, the best is yet to come.”
Theresa was astonished when Gerry proposed to her by getting down on one knee and telling her that he loved her “1,000%.” Naturally, she responded with a positive answer.
